I thought an m5 would tow a tank, better look into it

you can tow to 100% of your vehicles tow weight, but it is advisable to keep to about 85%

can you even get a tow bar for an M5 though I seem to recall Aldo could not get one for his RS6 ...a 4x4 will have a far bigger tow weight than a car, so will be better if your towing a trailer with a car on it as it will be getting on to 2 tonnes I would think, and most cars will be below that

Think I'll do a bit of research, probably only be towing a couple of times a year and a big 4x4 might be a bit over the top for every day use although I am quite tempted by the cayenne

Does Aldo still have an RS6? I cant seem to find what there maximum towing capacity is if its at all possible.

Calibra 4x4 maybe?

Calibra 4x4 maybe?

If it was legal to tow my other Calibra then I would probably get another

The hunt continues

Well I spent another weekend looking at cars. Ive kinda norrowed my list down to an M5 E60 or the E61 530D touring which suprisingly both were mentioned on TG tonight and the dilema I have.

Test Drove the M5 in Reading, 507bhp an awesome bit of kit



And this in Swindon and I was actually suprised by the 230bhp diesel engine



Both will tow the cally if need be (although I would get some abuse for towing with an M5), but I just cant make the decision between the relaible, economical and practicle diesel or the madness of the M5? Welcome any thoughts

hey get the tourer...if nothing else you can fold seats down and sleep in it
